This picture, which I took on one of my trips to Vietnam, also fits into the series "Window in House Wall". Ho Chi Minh City - the former Saigon - offers a myriad of good such photo motifs. I love going on a photo tour in Ho Chi Minh City.
A photo taken at a cafe in Dong Van.
Vietnam has many unique inventions. The dripper in the photo does not need paper as coffee is filtered through pinholes in the metal plate inside. And more importantly, it is very cheap.
Coffee cultivation was first introduced to Vietnam in the mid-19th century by the French, but it was the Doi Moi economic reform in the 1980s that spurred private individual farmers to grow coffee as a cash crop, which eventually made it one of Vietnam’s major export products. Vietnam is now the second largest coffee producer in the world only next to Brazil.
With the increase of coffee production, Vietnam developed its own coffee culture.
The taste of Vietnamese coffee is similar to, but different from, French coffee and now has its own right thanks to the dripper and a distinctive roasting techniques.
Cafes are everywhere like in France, but the difference is that the stools are often very low. Someone said that the price of a cup of coffee in Vietnam is in proportion to the height of stool in the cafe. I mean, low stool cafes are cheaper.

"Fish" | Smile on Saturday
ok... I just made that name up. If anyone knows what it really is, please let me know in a comment. This big guy was the alpha fish in an oversized aquarium in a tourist candy factory in the Mekong Delta, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the menu. His job was to pose for selfies (along with the resident boa constrictor).
